Janette Parris on the Importance of Everyday Spaces

What is the role of public art in shaping our collective imagination? How does economics influence what kind of art is allowed in our public spaces? Where are the opportunities for radical new types of creative activity that can shift what seems possible?

Join artist Toby Tobias Kidd as he explores all of these questions and more with guests including artists, curators, and philosophers in a new podcast series in collaboration with Kings College London, Future Narratives Lab, Art School Plus, and Professor Shanbaum of Coventry University.

On episode six, host Toby Tobias Kidd is joined by the artist Janette Parris. Janette has shown internationally in spaces such as the ICA and Tate as well as in the public realm working with institutions like Art on the Underground in London. Using popular formats such as comics, opera, and the pop song, she has a knack for creating art that reflects on experiences that are both relatable and particular. Hovering between fiction and truth her work is carried through with an undercurrent of humour which is something you will find in her book ‘This is Not a Memoir’ out on Montez press.
